Reports of the arrest of Nigerian socialite and Instagram celebrity, Raymond Igbalodely, fondly called Hushpuppi has been greeted with mixed reactions by Nigerians, on microblogging platform, Twitter, On Wednesday.

Hushpuppi and some of his friends were reportedly arrested by INTERPOL, in Dubai for fraud-related offences. The reports were yet to be confirmed as at Wednesday evening by INTERPOL.

However, on his Instagram profile, he claimed to be a real estate agent.

According to reports, Hushpuppi was arrested by INTERPOL for allegedly committing fraud related to COVID-19 funds of America Natives.
